    gem of a spot. kale salad = perfect: crunchy breadcrumbs, fat golden raisins. grilled carrots feat. more flavor than a carrot's ever hosted. &: sausage/honey pizza w/serranos + a brown sugar lemonade!

    WORTH IT! Both for wonderful staff and food. We took a soppressata and a margherita, but the pizza was so delicious that we've had to ask for another one! Perfect crust, tomato & mozzarella very tasty

    This place is always full but my wife and I stopped in at 4:30 on a Saturday for an excellent experience. We shared a "small" salad, Brussels sprouts, and a pork shoulder dish. Delicious

    The bufalina margherita is incredible—very possibly the best pizza in the Bay Area. The crust is thin and soft though so it’ll get soggy if you’re getting takeout or delivery.

    Everything is awesome, but you MUST get the sausage and honey pizza. It's crisp, light, and a perfect balance of salty and sweet. The honey drizzles over the crust and adds a tasty tint to the pizza.

    Def get the grilled carrots, meatballs, and grilled mushroom toast, but I don’t recommend the sausage and honey pizza unless you want a sweet 🍕

    Wide selection of pizzas, my favorite was the special (grilled peach with goat cheese and bacon) but the honey sausage was popular among my friends. Waiters were attentive for our larger party.

    Meatballs were unexpectedly amazing (not covered in tomato sauce). Kale salad and grilled carrots are phenomenal. Pizza crust is thin, chewy, and delicious. True to Florence-style Italian pizza

    The sausage and honey tomato sauce pizza is amazing! The best tomato sauce I've had in a pizza - sweet with creamy mascarpone, while Serrano chile and jalapeño slices kick it up a notch.

    I love Vesta! Great creative wood fired pizza. Grab a seat outside or on the back patio.

    The mushroom toast and carrots were very tasty. The sausage and honey pizza could have had a crisper crust; it was a little floppy to handle.

    Go in a group and order a few pies to share. You're gonna want to try every pie that comes to the table. Safe room for the affogato.

    The restaurant has great food so it's really popular. Sadly you can only make a reservation if you are a party of 5 or more. For this reason, it was over a 40 minute wait for our party tone seated.

    After waiting for 45 mins for a table we placed a to go order instead. The pizza was excellent even though we took nearly an hour to eat. I'd imagine that it's even better hot and fresh.

    Sounds like a lot, but with 3 Pizzas, barely eat five people. (If that's all you order)

    Mushroom toast. Any pizza. Want to keep costs down? Don't order wine. Other wise, best pizza on the peninsula.

    "Small" plates are huge. Veggie dishes are good but baroque: heavy on seasonings and oil.

    Salads were only so so, but vegan pizza was pretty good with generous toppings.
